Even though I can’t do the keto diet ever again, I’m still trying to reduce my carbohydrate intake for at least one of my meals during the day. I found out, the best meal to do it – is dinner for me. This actually helps me lose weight, even if I’m not eating super healthy during the day.

Also, my keto diet experience showed me I don’t need carbs to feel full and satisfied. I just need variety. And this is what we’re going to get here.


What To Eat On Keto

The keto diet got so famous I don’t believe there’s anyone who’s not familiar with the concept. But just in case, let’s take a look since I’m an expert who’s done the keto diet for 10 days.

Basically, you’ll be eating a high-fat and very low-carbohydrate diet. The goal of eating this way is that your body reaches something called ketosis. Which has its own cult right now. Ketosis is a state where your body starts using fat for fuel and not carbohydrates.

So you basically burn the fat that you’ve accumulated over the years, which helps you lose weight. This state can be achieved when you fast, starve or when fat is the main thing you eat.

So what do you eat on keto? Here are some foods to enjoy:

  • meat and seafood
  • oils
  • avocado
  • eggs
  • low-carb nuts and seeds
  • green vegetables and other low-carb vegetables
  • coconut
  • olives
  • some berries like raspberries, blackberries and strawberries

With all that variety, I didn’t feel restricted at all. The meals were delicious and easy to make.


Will You Lose Weight On The Keto Diet?

Yes! And it comes off quickly. I lost 7 pounds in 10 days without feeling hungry and I kept that weight off for already 4 months.

At first I intended to do keto for about a month, but, unfortunately, had to stop because of some crazy side effects and because of my thyroid.

If you’re new to keto and can’t make a decision whether to start or not, you can read about my experience and diet results here. I also recommend talking to your doctor first!

8 Things To Do To Lose 20 Pounds In 2 Months

1. Create a Plan.

And make that plan work for you! Don’t buy into someone else’s plan, because it’s not made considering your habits, your situation, you.. In order to change something that doesn’t work, we need to know what and why it’s not working in the first place. So do an inventory, find out what works, what doesn’t by tracking and noticing your good and bad habits. Do you overpromise, and underdeliver to yourself? Do you tell yourself every night that tomorrow you’ll do better…Okay, but what?

Once you know where you’re starting from, create a plan and give yourself the permission to experiment and adjust along the way. Ask yourself, what can you do on a daily and weekly basis to change your life and your body? Try it for a week or so and you’ll know whether it actually works.

Something that can really help, that I’ve used to lose 40 pounds after having a baby is this fitness planner. It truly helps you with everything you need to maintain a healthy body – meal planning, planning your workouts, keeping track of your habits, your gratitude and mental health. Set your goals in different areas of life and work on them. You can find the planner inserts here, make sure to use the code NTB20 for 20% off your purchase.

So I did that and I found out some things I was doing wrong and I’ll be talking about those things from here on.


2. Walk More, Drive Less

I am 100% sure a major reason for my weight loss struggles is that we got a car. Before having a baby, I’d just walk everywhere, I didn’t have a car, I did not want a car. I would make 10,000 steps, 15,000 steps every day without even blinking or thinking about it. Now I have to remind myself to get out and walk and simply be more conscious about it. And this is my main goal for the upcoming two months.


3. Leave Space Between Meals

Wait at least 3-4 hours between actually having another meal. And then sit down, eat and enjoy it. I’ve been so guilty of not leaving even an hour between having something. I already eat pretty healthy but I want to get back to an old-school regime, where you eat 2-3 main meals a day and not snack all the time.


4. No Late Eating

With the little one growing up and being super active, I often find myself exhausted in the kitchen at 9 pm preparing a snack. So additionally to spacing out my meals, I want to stop eating latest 8 pm.


5. Drink.

I, of course, mean, drink water. It’s super basic and we all know water’s important, but I personally keep ignoring this. I would often have coffee, nuts, sweets before I even consider that drinking water might solve those cravings. Water assists the body at getting rid of toxins and waste and is the best thing for your digestion, skin, energy and mood.
